My Crazy Week


    This week has been one of the craziest weeks I've had in a long time. It started off Sunday, when I went with my brother, sister, and cousin to the White Sox game. This was the first Sox home game with fans allowed since 2008 so it was a huge deal. Me and my cousin had been talking about going to this game since the team has been good. They were down 2-0 in the series in a best of five so it would have been the last game if they lost. After a big debacle getting the tickets to load on my phone (thanks Stubhub), we got into the building. The game started out poorly despite the crowd making it the loudest environment I've ever been in. Going into the fourth inning the Sox were down 5-1. That inning though, they scored five runs on two home runs to take the lead and ended up winning 12-6. It was an awesome experience! Me and my cousin were in complete shock at how great of a game it was. We ended up getting home past one and just talked to my dad about the game for an hour.

    The Sox were also scheduled to play the next day at home. Because it was supposed to rain during the game the tickets were super cheap. My buddy grabbed some tickets for $60 and asked if I wanted to go and I couldn't say no to playoff tickets that cheap. The game ended up getting moved to the next day but luckily I could still make it. Unfortunately, the game was not as good as the one before and the Sox got sent home for the winter. 

    The day after that it was raining super rainy when I was heading home from school and about a mile away from my house I stopped in line for a stop sign. Suddenly I hear a loud squealing and then BANG I got hit. It took me a second to realize I got hit plus I was a little woozy from the impact. Thankfully it wasn't too bad although the other guy's truck was totaled. He said he tried breaking too late and then he just hydroplaned and hit me. The police came after a little while and then they got everything situated and he took the blame so that certainly helped things. 

    That was my super crazy week, hopefully you enjoyed.

Indiana

      I have lived in Indiana my entire life. Well I can't  necessarily call it actually Indiana because I've been in The Region the entire time. For those of you that don't know, The Region is the little area of Indiana that is just across the border of Illinois, that is still technically a suburb of Chicago. We pay less taxes and we still get all the benefits of living by a big city. It's a nice place to live but we're still behind Illinois in a lot of things.      I am on a bus ride going to Louisville right now so we're taking a nice trip through the rest of Indiana and it is  boring to say the least. We're not even 20 minutes out of The Region and it's already all farmland. Indiana is a very boring state. This is going to be a long ride all the way through Indiana.      I would like to move out of  Indiana at some point in my life. I really like to travel and there are several places in the US I would love to move to. A co...

Icarus

    Icarus poster picture         This week I had to watch a documentary for my English class. We were able to choose from a number of different ones, but the one I was most interested is one called Icarus, as it was highly recommended by my boss. I really enjoy documentaries, so I am happy to report this one did not disappoint and I would highly recommend watching this one to anyone. It starts out with a man named Bryan Fogel interested in seeing how much doping would help him in cycling. He starts searching through a number of doctors until he comes across one that works for the anti-doping agency in Russia named Grigory Rodchenkov. Very quickly we learn that Russia is not playing by the book and many people start coming forward claiming they have a systematic doping system in place for every major sporting event, especially the Olympics, fully equipped by the government, with Rodchenkov being the key piece in all of it. Fogel helps hi...

Fantasy Football

    Fantasy football is something I've done for many years. It's something that's a lot of fun, but gives a lot of people a lot of stress every Sunday in the fall. Right now I am in four different leagues and three of them are for money. It's not a ton of money at all, but it makes sure everybody in the league stays involved and active. I have friends in all of my leagues because that's really all that matters to me, just to have fun with my buddies. This is the most leagues I've ever been in so its a good amount of work to keep up in all them.      I am doing pretty well right now though. I am in second in three of my four leagues and in my other league I am still projected to make the  playoffs. That can change at any time though. Just last week in one of my leagues, I had my best player announced that he would miss the rest of the season with a foot injury so that will probably screw me for the playoffs. There is definitely money involved in that le...
